re:Invent Partner Day : Cloud Migration and Optimization Session

Join me at 1.30 on October 6th at the AWS re:Invent Global Partner Summit

Realizing the Benefits of Cloud: Cloud Migration & Application Optimization

As AWS continues to expand, enterprise customers are increasingly looking to our partner ecosystem to assist in migrating their workloads to the cloud.  This session covers migration estimation, data migration, critical path activities, migration automation, and best practices for large-scale application migrations. We will use real examples from our consulting partners and AWS Professional Services to illustrate how to move workloads to the cloud while modernizing the associated applications to take advantage of AWS’ unique benefits. We will also dive into optimization of your application using AWS Services that are non-intrusive to your application, as well as those that require some application changes but help customers to achieve higher levels of performance, high availability, and scalability.  After attending this session, you will understand how to estimate a migration effort, understand the most time intensive tasks, the tools available, options for data migration, when to re-host an application and when to re-architect, and how to architect and optimize the end state AWS architecture.

AWS Migration Sessions

Join me at these two sessions in San Francisco.

April 8th in SF @ Moscone 

Breakout Sessions 1:00 - 1:50 

Application Portfolio Migration 

Migrating large fleets of legacy applications to AWS cloud infrastructure requires careful planning, since each phase needs to balance risk tolerance against the speed of migration.

Through participation in many large-scale migration engagements with customers, AWS Professional Services has developed a set of successful best practices, tools, and techniques that help migration factories optimize speed of delivery and success rate. In this session, we cover the complete lifecycle of an application portfolio migration with special emphasis on how to organize and conduct the assessment and how to identify elements that can benefit from cloud architecture.

Cloud Migration, Application Modernization and Security for Partners

As AWS continues to expand, enterprise customers are increasingly looking to our partner ecosystem to assist in migrating their workloads to the cloud. This session describes the challenges, lessons learned and best practices for large scale application migrations. We will use real examples from our consulting partners and AWS Professional Services to illustrate how to move workloads to the cloud while modernizing the associated applications to take advantage of AWS’ unique benefits. We will also dive into how to use an array of AWS services and features to improve a customer’s security posture as they are migrating and once they are up and running in the cloud.

February 4 | Wednesday - Migrating Thousands of Workloads to AWS at Enterprise Scale

Migrating Thousands of Workloads to AWS at Enterprise Scale Many large enterprises have begun using AWS to host development and test environments while also building greenfield applications in AWS. After realizing the benefits that AWS has to offer, many Enterprise look for ways to accelerate their migration to the cloud. In beginning this journey they are often faced with a number of challenges such as determining which applications should move, how they should move, and how can they be effectively managed in the cloud.  AWS Solution Architects and AWS Professional Services have developed a migration methodology, based on our experiences, to quickly, efficiently, and successfully move enterprise applications to AWS at scale.  This session will be pragmatic; covering the challenges, lessons learned, best practices, and end architecture for several large scale migrations done by AWS Global System Integrator partners. This session will also review the approach, tools, and methods that can help Enterprises evolve their cloud transformation programs.
